MORNIN' BLUEFIELD SHARON!!!---Are you going boating again today!---Sounds like FUN!!---Do you ever go 'white water'?----

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning Megan and Normabyrd!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

No, Normabyrd. No white water rafting for me. Have a huge fear of the water, feel pretty safe in a pontoon boat but not a canoe or kayak. Have to work today but just now trying to get started. Been lazy this morning.

Chrissy Beahan said...

It;s not hard Norma pet with the time difference pet,,,,,
When I get up,, your all still in bed,

The thing is I can't look in on most of the birds as they are in bed to and it's so, so dark.

I do look in on Europes birds,, and its wondeful thins year to see Stork babies well and healthy for once at Storchennest in Germany,, let hope they stay well this time round,,NO MORE FUNGUS !!!

normabyrd said...

WHOA--WHOA!!---No PERGRINE FALCONS or CHICKS at the PA SITE!!---They must be on the other end of the ledge---no cam turned on yet???---ANYONE KNOW??????

Chrissy Beahan said...

If you all don't mind I'm going for something to eat,, I said that ages ago and still havn't eaten,,,,

Megan's got my taste buds going for bacon,,,,, So I've taken some bacon and sausages out of the freezer for Dinner tonight, yummy.

I'll be back later,

speak soon
Love and hugs

Chrissy Beahan said...

I've got a parent sitting on the end of the sitting pole Norma,,, no sign of the chicks,, but it's rather a long large ledge and they might of gone for a walk..

love and hugs
Chrissy

Chrissy Beahan said...

The parent keeps looking at the nest box,, which worries me if the parent doesn't know where it's chicks are WHO DOES ????


love nd hugs
Chrissy

normabyrd said...

CHRISSY---Remember the PA SITE has a long ledge!!----Neither cam show the other PARENT or any CHICKS!!!

normabyrd said...

The SCOTTISH OSPREY MOM stood up---ONLY SEE 1 CHICK & 2 EGGS!!---Really windy there!!!

Chrissy Beahan said...

Isla doing some housekeeping and the chick is getting quite big now,,beautiful close up on the pair of them,,,,,

STILL 2 eggs just lying there,, I havn't seen isla or Angus turn them now in days,,, so I'm thinking that they both must know they are DUDS,,,,,WELL, one healthy chick is better than nothing,,isn't it,,,,,
Blimey :::: Isla has just called me a lyer,, she has just turned the 2 eggs,,, typical,, don't kids and animals always call you that.

Osprey Chick being fed at Loch Garten now,, its so tiny,,,problem is,, it seems OVS [daddy] has 2 nests to look after,, so "EJ" has been having to go and fish for food herself at times,, which I think is rather dangerous,, leaving the little one for long periods of time,,,,,

STILL no sign of PA chicks,, parent still sitting on the pole looking at the nest box,,,

AND My beautiful darling Mei is lying out in the sunshine getting an early morning nap,,oh Bless that angel....

love and hugs
Chrissy

Chrissy Beahan said...

It's really windy here to Norma pet,,

Scotland is having a good sunny day.

speak later,,

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Megan, Ceil ( hi and bye), Chrissy, Wanda, Norma, Sharon and Sandra and Carol if watching.

People have lots of picnics planned for today. Weather is beautiful...but I need to stay OUT of sun.

wvgal_dana said...

Chrissy what 2 nest is this OVS looking after?

Chrissy Beahan said...

Dana pet,

There seems to be a shortage of MALES at Loch Garten,, and I read this morning that OVS [orange banded Osprey] is comutting between 2 nests,,,, and the wardens think he is splitting himself between 2 Ladies,,,
I may have read it all wrong,, it was very early when I read it and i'd only had one cup of tea,,[not properly awake]

If you go onto the site and click on the right hand side " FOR YOUR INFIRMATION",
you can see names like " HENRY " who they thought was "EJ'S", mate.
and so on,,read from there pet.


love and hugs

Going to eat!!!!

Grabbing a Gatorade- Hi Sharon and Dana:) Bluebirds come out of the birdhouse yet Dana? Its 70° here now and there's a little breeze, although it is really blowing around the pollen, it feels nice and cool. Back out to water...have a nice day everyone!

paula eagleholic said...

Happy Memorial Day

Please thank our troops, past and present and all they do to protect and serve.

Lolly said...

Good morning Norma,Chrissy, Dana, Sharon !!!!

Chrissy, the cam site you sent us the other day......I could not get to it. Could you send it again and we will give it a try?!!! Thanks you!! :)

Not a good morning here. Think I caught something from Chrissy. Coughed all night! Then my favorite coffee mug broke in the dish washer. Boo Hoo!!

Hurriedly went to PA site. Still no babies in view.

Going to daughter's today. Son and family will be there as well. Going to grill hamburgers and have a great day! Just wish we were not having such hot weather!!

Wish all of you a great day with family.....or a great day doing what you want to do!! :)

paula eagleholic said...

Afternoon, Chrissy.

Hmmm, interesting about OVS...that would be a first I think

Morning all. Bacon sounds good! Think I'll have some too.

Eaglet at this end was yawning...looking right at cam! So Cute!

Lolly said...

Good morning Paula. Did you get to that cam Chrissy sent the other day? When I went to it I got a message something that the page I requested was not available.

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning! Lots of wing flapping going on and it seems like all 3 are going at once! Scary!!!
Sure wish I were down below seeing all this jumping going on!

Costume Lady said...

Lolly, quick, before Chrissy goes to sleep...Ask her what meds she is on. You will feel MUCH better, just like Chrissy! LOL

Lolly said...

Whoa! Look at all that flapping! "Yeh, yeh, my wings are bigger than your wings1" "Oh, yeah, you wanna bet! Look at this!"

Costume Lady said...

Good Morning Jo, maybe we need to get Iris to come up and put pillows and blankets around the Sycamore tree for safety purposes. LOL

paula eagleholic said...

New on Chubby Buddy from NBG

DGIF Blog update

Article

Mema Jo said...

If they don't slow down a bit one of them is going to go right over the edge of that nest! Someone might have to take a quick trip to NCTC

Lolly said...

Great idea!

Hey C-h-r-i-s-s-y!!!!!! Could you tell me what's been helping you "feel better". Think I caught your cough! I wanna "feel better".

paula eagleholic said...

I know Lolly, they are making me nervous! Looked like one was gonna whack the other out of the nest! One at a time, guys and gals!

Mema Jo said...

Good idea Wanda! I just wish the guard rails hadn't fallen off the nest.

Costume Lady said...

The last time I saw the Falconettes, was either the day they were banded or the day after. A good part of the afternoon, Mom & Dad Falcon seemed to fighting off an intruder. I couldn't see it, but they kept screaming and flying after something. Maybe the intruder was successful.

Costume Lady said...

I am hoping that one of the babes will flap its wings into the cam and knock Spidey's house down.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' DANA!!---Check the PA SITE-----1 PARENT is out on the pole---but CHRISSY & I have not been able to see any CHICKS or the other parent!!!----What do you think??

paula eagleholic said...

Here's the link for Loch Garden, With OVS {male} and EJ (female). Link is on the left for live video

Loch Garden Osprey Nest

paula eagleholic said...

Was that a food drop?

paula eagleholic said...

Such a flurry of wings, but I see eaglet took it to the back of the nest and mantled, then drug it up front! Yup, it was a fish!

paula eagleholic said...

Not like they don't have a fish laying there in the nest!

Lolly said...

Thank you Paula!!

Going to eat breakfast!

BBL

paula eagleholic said...

I love the way they run across the nest with the fish hanging from their beak!

paula eagleholic said...

Loch Garden 2nd chick appeared today

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Jo, Paula and Lolly ( :

Wanda whatever it is "Chrissy is sounding better and better" lol

Ty Paula

Jo it is scary how the nest has lost so much around the sides.

wvgal_dana said...

PLaula have you ever gotten the live streaming feed on the Loch Garden site?

wvgal_dana said...

Jo one of us would be heading for the nest if that happened. Next problem to solve is: After we get eaglet in bag. Who do we call??????? Or to get it in bag Who do we CALL???

wvgal_dana said...

I guess I would be trying to find the guard on duty or at the gate house.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' PAULA--LOLLY & JO!---Been on phone---trying to understand what granddaughter was saying!!---MARLEY has a tendency to SCREAM when she talks!!-----now I am deaf!!!

normabyrd said...

WHOA DANA!!---If you get one of those EAGLETS in a BAG!!---I'll make sure the MARINES are there to save the EAGLET!!---ho!

paula eagleholic said...

Read the Loch Garden blog...don't see where they mentioned what Chrissy said, about OVS maintaining 2 nests...maybe she can tell us exactly where it is.

Costume Lady said...

WAS THAT SWEET OR WHAT? The two eaglets were beaking!

wvgal_dana said...

NORMA can you hear me now lol

paula eagleholic said...

Dana - it looked like it was loading earlier..but I went off and read the blogs...so I'm not sure...I think they have a limit on the number of viewers...this is a very popular nest in the UK...so I imagine it is really loaded with viewers and hard to get on...

paula eagleholic said...

Dana - I just got it on....just keep refreshing till you get in!

paula eagleholic said...

I did read they were having sound issues...

wvgal_dana said...

Yes Paula the Live streaming feed over there is VERY hard to get on.

paula eagleholic said...

Dana - try it now! I just logged off!

wvgal_dana said...

Oh I got screaming going on at Seal Rock. Parent just brought a fish in. LOL eaglet says feed me Mom I don't have anyone to fight over about this fish. hee hee

Mema Jo said...

Going to put that stick here!

Is it Pearl or Middy that still has the feather on their beak?

The next food drop is going to be
something else.

Phone number at NCTC is 304-876-1600

ceil said...

Parent off loon eggs.

wvgal_dana said...

Whoo Ho got the live feed Paula ( : although I don't hear sound. Oh well I get to see it live for awhile.

normabyrd said...

CT OSPREYS---FEEDING time!!--Little one in the back is being left out!!----WHITE CLOTH in nest?

Mema Jo said...

Larry's loon log is very interesting reading as to his observations

wvgal_dana said...

That's ok I'm enjoying the sound from Seal Rock.

Loch Garden video is nice. Around nest is beautiful.

wvgal_dana said...

Paula ty for the update on Buddy. I had been at two different places looking for an update.

Anything new on did they set the fractured wing on PH eaglet? I've checked but found no update.

Mema Jo said...

Mema Jo said...

JIM
Thank you and all your ex marine buddies for keeping us free!

ceil said...

Hi, Jo, Paula, Sharon, Norma, Wanda, Lolly, Nature, Megan, Dana and Chrissy was here before. I was on earlier and I am in and out. Trying to get ready for barbecue at neighbors. Hope all have a good holiday. Been looking for the chicks in PA. Hope they are okay. News not good on the NBG chick. Prayers for the little one. Love when our chicks flap together and hit each other they look so surprised. I better get going.

ceil said...

Morning Jim. Thank you and all the other military people for all they have done and are doing for this country. BBL

Mema Jo said...

Enjoy your picnic Ceil!

I may just have another unscheduled one today like yesterday. Sure was fun!

BBL

NatureNut said...

Hi Dana, Got baby bluebirds fledging yet? You need your own Cam! LOL

Re: Mem. Day--Blessings to all who serve. One of my uncles is a Pearl Harbor Survivor and another worked with Gen. Chenault in Flying Tigers.They're both around. Heard a lot about WW II growing up.

ceil said...

I just saw a chick at PA.

Lolly said...

Ok, I give up. Have tried everything to get to Loch Garten Cam. When I click on the link you gave ua, Paula, nothing happens. Googled it, and still can not get in. Something is blocking me.

Did read about the soapopera they have going there. Very interesting!

Very happy to see PA chicks!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Lolly, I had problems the other day with cams and it was because of my firewall!

movin said...

Thanks much, Ceil, Mema Jo, Nature. It is an honor.

Thank everyone in your family and circle of friends, who have served the cause of Liberty.

C(°ï®¡°)D

Jim

Lolly said...

Oh, Jo! I hope you do not have TX weather already! We have been close to breaking heat records all week. Not a good sign for the summer.

85 here, heading up into the 90! YUK!

paula eagleholic said...

Yummy, just finished breakfast w/ bacon...going out to spread more mulch

paula eagleholic said...

Anyone else having live feed problems...mine was frozen and wont reload

deb said...

Good morning, everyone, I have been busy this morning and am just getting to posting.

Paula, my live feed is up.

floralgirl said...

My live feed is till running, but pic looks weird on the bottom left.

Lolly said...

My live feed is still up. Same here about the lower left corner looking weird!

Lolly said...

Just made homemade ice cream and rotel dip. Guess summer is officially here!

Lolly said...

Going out to water plants. BBL

normabyrd said...

GOOD MORNIN' JIM!!----I REMEMBERED last year----WE HONORED YOU & SUZANNE for serving in the MILITARY!!!

ARE THEY ANY OTHERS??

normabyrd said...

Has anyone heard anything about our missing PERGRINE FALCONS at PA SITE?----I only see the PARENT on the hatching box!---He/She was there this am---

Mema Jo said...

Ceil saw one before she went picnicing! I looked at that time and one was inbetween the bldg & nest box.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' DEB!!---Can't remember if I have seen you today!!---Lots of calls this am----It is 80° here now!!---It hasn't gotten humid here yet---expecting it any time!!

Mema Jo said...

I can see an adult now and in the shaded part of the nest box it looks like white fluffy feathers! I think they are ok. Their live feed needs the entire ledge view now. Hope they change it.

Good Afternoon Deb!

deb said...

Norma, there is at least one chick in the box, maybe two.

normabyrd said...

JO---That is the only one that has been their all day!!---CHRISSY & I were checking all am----

normabyrd said...

WAX FOR SHARON!

floralgirl said...

Hey Jo- I have just discovered that the weekend of the 6th has already been booked for me- not sure I will be able to make it to NCTC or the Rumsey:(((((

deb said...

Sounds like I am the only one that is wishing for a little warmer weather. It is only going to be 67 here today and 50's tomorrow, with lows in the 40's.

normabyrd said...

DEB---I just noticed that!---But they weren't there earlier------I hope they are there!!---That site never updates any info!!---My only thought was that they may be on the other end of the ledge!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Semper Fi Jim ( : from Ed and I

Good Afternoon Deb.

normabyrd said...

DEB!---Our weather has been perfect!!!----Folks around here are afraid it isn't going to last!!-----

deb said...

I rewound PA cam and there is just the one chick in the box. It was behind the box at one point, maybe there are chicks hiding there, too.

Costume Lady said...

50th Class Reunion photos on my blog. Didn't get very good photos. I must have had too many Eagle Talons! LOL

wvgal_dana said...

Just had a goose honking on Seal Rock lol

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

I was reading on the PA forum earlier that they could hear the chicks on the other end of the ledge being fed earlier, noisy little cusses!

Mema Jo said...

MEGAN BOO HOO TO YOU!!! < :(

Let me know if that is a definite
NO SHOW and I will tearfully take you off the list!

normabyrd said...

CHRISSY & I NOTICED at about 9:00 am their WAS 1 adult & NO CHICKS!!-----That appears to be the same ADULT----& there may be CHICKS huddled in a group!!----Hope they are on the end of the ledge!!

Mema Jo said...

Wanda Loved you pictures!

Mema Jo said...

Megan On that Sun morning will you be at Shepherdstown Market in case some of the Momsters come down before leaving for home?

normabyrd said...

THANK YOU SHARON!!---I am a "WORRY WART"!!---I am anxious for them to open the ledge----Because they used to stand on that end!!

wvgal_dana said...

Great reunion pics Wanda.

What year did Gene graduate?

normabyrd said...

WANDA---You look just BEAUTIFUL!!!
Black is very becoming on you!!!
You certainly had a good turn out--as they say here in WV!!---Thank you for sharing!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Cool, my RP finally came back on

paula eagleholic said...

Pearl just got some nice air...right up the middle!

paula eagleholic said...

Megan - tell them to reschedule!!

paula eagleholic said...

Dana - that might have been a seal you heard at Seal Rock

paula eagleholic said...

Lolly - What is rotel dip???

deb said...

I'm not sure if Lolly left for her picnic or not, the dip uses Rotel tomatoes. I think you get them in the Mexican food section. I don't remember what else, but I think it is Velvetta Cheese.

deb said...

Sometimes they add meat to the dip, also.

paula eagleholic said...

OK, sounds like Dogfood dip! Yum :):)


Thanks, Deb!

Mema Jo said...

Herd of turkeys in PA woods

Wonder where all the deer have gone?

Mema Jo said...

normabyrd said...

WHOA PAULA!!---I thought I was the only one that didn't know what ROTEL DIP was!!!----GOOGLE IT!!

Hi all,

just popping in before my yearly live program of " SPRINGWATCH", starts..

Paula are you still having problems with "LOCH GATREN" pet

I have E-Mails Lolly with all that I know, and how to get the "LIVE FEED"..

I did leave some info first thing this morning on the other page,, but if you get the page up,, go to the top blue boarder where all the commands are and click on "BIRDS & WILDLIFE". Scroll down and click on "BIRDS OF PREY",, then click on the Lock Garten live vidio and your there.

I hope that helps..

love and hugs
Chrissy

normabyrd said...

Chrissy Beahan said...

Another nice forum

Bird Cams around the World

They have an update on the PH chicks with pictures.

PH Thread

I think they talk alot about the Harrisburg falcons there!

movin said...

Good night, Chrissy. Thanks for your reports from the 'wee hours' ... here at least.

C(°ï®¡°)D

Jim

movin said...

I looked up 'rotel', Paula, and I got stuff like 'diesel lubricant.' So I tried 'rotelle' and I at least got a food...a small, wheel-shaped pasta.'

C(°ï®¡°)D

Jim

normabyrd said...

JIM!---GOGGLE IT!---ROTEL DIP!

normabyrd said...

PAULA----THANKS--GREAT SITE---BIRDS AROUND THE WORLD----They had the same discussion CHRISSY & I had today---WHERE ARE THE FALCONS AT PA----ALSO guessed they were at the other end of ledge---which was not shown---SEEMED THEY WERE CONCERNED TOO!!!

normabyrd said...

FINALLY---One can see the ATLANTA BEAUTY--"MEI" asleep on the floor in her play room!!---SHE IS A LITTLE DOLL!!---Just don't get to see her that often!!

normabyrd said...

LATER....

paula eagleholic said...

LOL Jim.

I hope Lolly isn't serving that!!

Mema Jo said...

Wingercises going on in the nest. It isn't Pearl is one of the other two! lol Pearl is busy try to get some more food that she probably hid.

I feel certain that Pearl is female due to her size.
Little Middy sitting there watching her is probably a male.
Not sure about Tiny yet....
These are just uneducated guesses!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Heading out...BBL

Mema Jo said...

Need to check out what's for dinner since no picnic in sight today!

BBL

Mema Jo said...

I'm back for a minute.....

Adult with food in our nest!
Adult is feeding or at least pulling off and holding while eaglets just yank it out of parent's mouth....
Parent looking at offspring as though in disbelief of their eating habits!!

Parent gave up & is gone.

floralgirl said...

A line of showers and thunderstorms will continue east...into the Interstate 81 corridor of the Shenandoah Valley through the early evening hours. Scattered thunderstorms along this line...from near Staunton to Winchester...with more isolated thunderstorms developing across north central Maryland...will have brief heavy rainfall...gusty winds...small hail and cloud to ground lightning. A tenth to a quarter of an inch is expected across much of this area...with locally higher amounts as the line moves east near 30 mph.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Thanks Megan. Our preaching meteorologist is on vacation! :)

Megan, did you see where I posted about the tulip poplar tree? They are beautiful!

MITS said...

HELLO, HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY:) Still having some issues with this computer...daugter in law has made some adjustments..it is running somewhat faster, but my COMCAST E-MAIL WILL LET ME READ, BUT NOT RESPOND OR COMPOSE MY E-MAILS...I don't have time to deal with it at this time. Have not tried any cams, and am not caught up on the blog at all. I t was a WONDERFUL WEEKEND with my family and I miss those girls already. Hope everyone is well.

MITS said...

weather here has been great, although today was rather breezy....have seen my beloved dolphins, and a heron fly by....

floralgirl said...

Hello Helen:) Glad you had a great visit with the M&M girls and their parents. Hi Sharon, I saw your note about tulip poplars, I love them too. Light rain here now. My live feed appears frozen.

floralgirl said...

Refreshed and rp is running again. chicks are snacking on leftovers. bbl- back to work- preparing for mkt tomorrow.

paula eagleholic said...

My RP went down and back on now

paula eagleholic said...

Had a nice picnic at in-laws...burgers, dogs, potato salad etc. Good ol' American food!

Couple of sprinkles here too. I'll take the 1/10 to 1/4 inch of rain...better than the 2-3 we seemed to be getting!

paula eagleholic said...

Lib just dropped in with a bedtime snack!!

And it's not cereal!

deb said...

I got a new grill last year (end of season sale) and decided today was the day to put it together. I should have started earlier. It is almost done, but now I am too tired for the wiring parts. I will finish it up tomorrow.

paula eagleholic said...

Lib also drug out a nestover and was feeding that

deb said...

Off he goes. The kids are all lined up looking out the back of the nest.


If you can get a picture of the tree, try to get one that shows where the camera is and where the eaglets will branch to on the 7th. It is probably different than I have pictured it in my head.

paula eagleholic said...

Will do, Deb. Last batch just fledged...don't think they ever branched really...

deb said...

Ok, thanks, Paula. I know you can't get too close, so it might not work. I will be at the hospital picnic while you are all meeting. At least, I won't be sitting around wishing I was in WV!

deb said...

I found this note on the IWS forum from Peter:


NOTICE: We are planning to band the Seal Rocks chick tomorrow morning and the Two Harbors chick tomorrow afternoon.

Costume Lady said...

Hi, Deb & Paula...was wondering if anyone saw more than one chick at Pa Falcon site?

Costume Lady said...

Oh, I hope Dana knows that...she watches Seal Rock often.

deb said...

The falcon cam that you get from the Colorado eagle nest site has chicks. (The falcon nest is in Minnesota)

deb said...

I didn't watch this afternoon, so I don't know about the falcon chicks at PA. I sent Dana an e-mail about the banding, just hope she checks her mail.

deb said...

I enjoyed your reunion pictures, Wanda.

Mema Jo said...

Thanks for posting that schedule, Deb.It is totally different since it was first announced.

BWE nest has the Eagle Spirits surrounding it.
Of course the NCTC nest has good ole' Spidey guarding our eaglets!!

deb said...

It must have rained at the Delta nest, parent is drenched and covering the chicks.

Costume Lady said...

Glad you enjoyed my Reunion photos. I love to share my good times with you all.

Costume Lady said...

Deb, how on earth to you keep track of all the nests and sites and time and dates? We sure do appreciate the time and effort that you put into this blog. Glad you joined us!

paula eagleholic said...

Nice pics, Wanda. Also like the Utah ones. Sure was a lot of snow!

Mema Jo said...


Heronetts have grown BIG

Mema Jo said...

I can partially see Peek & Boo
behind their tree trunk.
Blue Bird has 5 eggs. I wonder if Dana had any fledges from her nest.

Iris' robins should be getting ready
to hop out onto the comfort cushions.

Costume Lady said...

Wasn't that thoughtful of Iris to share her JOY with us? I ROFLBO when she sent the photo of the padded porch. She's so special.

deb said...

Wanda, I look for the answers to the questions I have, I don't have them all memorized! Then I figure if I wonder what the answer to the question is, maybe someone else does, too, so I share.

Costume Lady said...

I'm going to see if I can catch the 10:20 Ferry...or is that 11:20? Can't stay awake that long tonight.

deb said...

I look forward to Iris' pictures,too. It is fun to see how fast they change.

Does anyone remember when the heronettes hatched? I don't. They will fledge about 60 days after hatching.

Mema Jo said...

Deb I didn't record any dates of hatching for the Herons. I just remember your sending pics around with the one egg having a crack -I think! They look large enough to take off out of that nest. I may look on one of the other forums to see if anything was recorded & I'll let you know....

deb said...

I went back to my videos and on April 8th there were two heronettes and two eggs. So they will be there a little while longer. Fledging should start around June 5-10th.

Mema Jo said...

Deb - here is a comment from FTLOE

I have been wishing all weekend that out of the blue a comment from
Suzanne would appear here on the blog!!

Costume Lady said...

I have been trying to keep Suz updated on some of sites that I know she loves and I think others do too...so she is probably inundated with email. I think she is glad to hear from us even if we do duplicate info.

I wish she would, too, Jo. I sent her some pictures from this weekend so she can see some of what is happening.

Jo, heronettes wingercise is ready.

Happy Birthday Ceil! drizzling here this am, warm tho- 68°, which is what we need to make the plants grow. Lots of wing exercising going on in the nest- hard to see around that dang spiderweb.

Chicks are all hanging out on the right side of nest, lots of grooming going on, rain has stopped for the moment.
